I still highly doubt that it can or will happen in this case. The financial mountain is too high for a municipality as small as Glendale to take the risk.

I agree Whilee. It was just an idea that's been floated. With a population of what, 200,000 - 250,000 (?), its' just not practicable. If Phoenix itself & surrounding boroughs (most of which have massive deficits to deal with amongst many other problems) kicked in then ya, could be done; impossible mountain to climb with all kinds of conflicting interests. Even if it was somehow possible for Glendale to go it alone, the hour is awfully late. It may be a journey up the Kyber without a paddle, but its worth exploring, as it has worked elsewhere beyond GreenBay. My favorite being the "Toledo Mud Hawks" (Corporal Klingers' team - MASH) which is community owned.
